International Standard Version
19 Do not accept an accusation against an elder unless it is supported “by two or three witnesses.”[a] 20 As for those who keep on sinning, rebuke them in front of everyone so that the rest will also be afraid. 21 With God as my witness, as well as the Messiah[b] Jesus and the chosen angels, I solemnly call on you to carry out these instructions without prejudice, doing nothing on the basis of partiality. 22 Do not ordain[c] anyone hastily. Do not participate in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.
